Mobility
Accessibility to visitors with limited mobility can be challenging due to the historic and natural features of Rancho Los Cerritos. In order to provide the best possible experience to all visitors, Rancho Los Cerritos strives to accommodate guests with limited mobility by providing alternative experiences to upstairs exhibits and experiences and exhibits that are accessible to everyone. With advance notice, we will make every effort to respond to special needs. Rancho Los Cerritos is located on 4.74 acres. The terrain may be difficult to navigate. If you have additional questions about accessibility or special needs, please call (562) 206-2040 or email rancho@rancholoscerritos.org.
